[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 794604, member: 325666"] I see what you're saying Huevos ...but a squawker would _not_ have found me 43W.. It simply isn't a big enough signal in the UK ..to produce any response audibly.. I found it by nudging the dish a few clicks at a time whilst watching the F15 speccy.. A barely perceptable change was seen ..and at this point ..the 'bump' was logged into the Vbox .. Cholusat channel info was then added ..and after a few seconds the AGC in the F15 kicked in allowing a lock ...the channel was then scanned successfully. What you don't realise is that 43W is just not considered do-able this far North in the UK on anything less than 2.4 mtrs ..so a combination of speccy watching ...and the exceptional gain of the F15 made just _one_ channel possible from this bird in Cband. The F15 once again proved its worth ..as I've _never_ managed anything from this bird on the Openbox S9 HD ...the Humax HDCI2000...the AZbox premium ...the Cuberevo ....the Echostar....or the old favourite ...the Nokia 9600.. Even now ..Cholusat is TOD dependent ...even on the F15. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
